As theoretically awesome as ZFS is, the math behind the human factors are more important than the math behind the computer failure rates, and this is something I don't believe we can fix with our current development methodologies. It looks like Joyent was able to rebuild most (all?) of their data in their ZFS data loss situation, but it could have played out drastically differently. http://discuss.joyent.com/viewtopic.php?id=19430 http://discuss.joyent.com/viewtopic.php?id=19430
